Lead Makeup Artist, Talia Shobrook for NARS Cosmetics, created the wild brows and matte skin that graced the runway.

The inspiration behind the looks?

Well...Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig created their Fall 2009 collection with fairytales in mind.

To highlight this theme, Talia Shobrook created a whimsical look from her vision of a naughty aristocrat running out of a party, like a young girl going into the woods wearing a gorgeous ball gown, putting on makeup rather naively, she explained.

Wild brows atop flawless skin was the focus of the look.I used a dash of Madrague brown shadow and went right into the inner corners of the brows, said Talia. To capture the look of a tousled young girl, the brows were brushed in an unnatural direction. Beneath the brows was a colored lid of matte white, as if applied in a fleeting moment by a true makeup novice. Soft lips complemented the perfect skin.

My take? While I think the overall look is beautiful, I'd have to smooth down the old brows...I tend to look a little insane grandpa if I don't.
